Red Lantern Superman vs Hulk

Started by DarkSaint859 pages

But no superspeed, and he has to fight without his intelligence, like a roaring rage monster. Any strength gains is negated by Hulk's amping, so:

Strength = equal
Speed = equal
Tactics/intelligence = Hulk, unless Red Supes is like Atrocitus - unlikely though, as most RLs we've seen lose their intelligence.
Healing Factor = Hulk (I haven't seen an Lantern HFs on par with what WWH did when fighting Zom-Strange)
Durability = Superman
Abilities = Superman IF he is like Rankorr and can create constructs, or like Atrocitus. Otherwise, slight edge to Superman with his plasma vom.

In my opinion, the durability and slight edge Superman has in projection does not outweigh Hulk's fighting intelligence. It will be a brutal stalemate until he rips his hand off.

I think Superman will eventually manage to control the rage.

However I don't know if he can do it in time to take the win.

Meh Rankorr retained most of his intelligence....and he is just a norm human...

Yeah. He did manage to suppress his rage for quite a while. It only got over him whenever he saw that one dude that mugged his grandfather and the cops that beat the shit out of his bro.

Yet Guy, John, Hal etc weren't able to...

Although saying that, Superman is pretty good at controlling his rage.

Even if he could, though, I doubt its going to be a deciding factor.

I thought Rankorr was a special case.

Maybe I missed something, but why? Don't recall anything making him that special...well besides him using constructs and such.

Because he was the first human Red Lantern specifically chosen? Or something like that?

Could be. Now I'm sure something like that will be explained. Given how humans are pretty much godlike in all fiction.

the constructs were part of it, and him retaining his intelligence, which red lanterns aren't supposed to do iirc.

So vomit or constructs can't be used anyway.

Strength = equal
Speed = equal
Tactics/intelligence = Hulk, unless Red Supes is like Atrocitus - unlikely though, as most RLs we've seen lose their intelligence.
Healing Factor = Hulk (I haven't seen an Lantern HFs on par with what WWH did when fighting Zom-Strange)

Abilities = Equal

So Hulk wins, even more so now in my head.

This. You've taken away Superman's biggest advantages - his speed, his BFR, and his battle smarts.
NO. I´ve taken superman´s Moral, thats his biggest drawback on any battle, this is "Kill Mode" red eyes superman

The RLs never seemed that tactically aware - even when he was bloodlusted (like against Diana in Sacrifice), he still had the tactical nous to carry 'Doomsday' to the Sun, then slam 'him' back to Earth.

Whereas RLs just punch and roar and vomit over everything. Not that it won't work, normally, but remember what happened when a berserk Surfer surprised Hulk with his ferocity? Hulk was stunned, regrouped, then smashed him.

Without superspeed, he can try before Hulk thunderclaps his ears.

this is H2H only..there's no need for intelligent or tactic here..if it's regular Supes..any normal person would give Hulk the win..but with a red ring..he's more bloodlust and can tank more attack than usual..it's just a punching contest..Supes will outlast Hulk..

At least, fighting smart (whilst not 'nerve pinching' Superman, at least a version of Supes that won't just go in flailing.

I dont think that lava is as impressive as the red napalm that the red lanterns use. Plus the hulks rage is just gonna make the ring stronger.
